A splendid concoction of cubed apples and pears, dried cranberries, a bit of flour, honey, and lemon juice is spooned into a baking pan, and then covered with a crumbly butter and nut mixture. Forty-five minutes later, the crisp is brown and beautiful.

The flavor combinations of tart and sweet blended with warm spices makes this dish one to remember. Made with Truvia® Baking Blend, this crisp has 25% fewer calories and 55% less sugar than the full-sugar version.

Cranberries and apples cook together under a brown sugar and oat topping in a rosy-red version of apple crisp that's nice for the holidays or any fall or winter day. There's a hint of orange flavor, too.

The apple filling is cooked until thick and flavored with sugar and cinnamon. It 's then poured into a large baking pan and covered with a sweet, buttery oat topping. Twenty-minutes in the oven and it 's ready to serve with ice cream or caramel sauce.

I don't usually like 'baking' with the microwave, but this recipe works great. The topping comes out crispy on top, moist inside, and delicious all around. It's a wonderful dessert that's quick and easy to make. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.
